Dave Pelzer, the man no longer called it

Date of Review:  Mar 11, 2000
Review: In his first book, A Child Called IT, Dave Pelzer described unimaginable abuse at the hands of his mother. The abuses that Dave Pelzer endured are both sickening and heartwrenching. After reading this first book, the reader is left wondering what...

The Last in a Trilogy, and the Most Thought Provoking

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2000
Review: A Man Named Dave is the third in a trilogy. The first two were A Child Called It, and The Lost Boy. I have now read all three, and I'm glad I did. It took me until the third book to "get it".

Dave Pelzer is a wonderful author. It is not his...

Outstanding and Unbelievable man.

Date of Review:  Nov 17, 2000
Review: This is the third amazing book that I have read from this outstanding and brave man. When I read the first two books that he had written "A Child Called It," and the "Lost boy," I was left in confusion and wanting to know more. The first book goes...

Touching Tale of Trauma

Date of Review:  Oct 28, 2002
The Bottom Line: Please purchase this book and the others in the trilogy to learn how abuse can affect the children receiving it, as well as other family members involved.
Review: Dave Pelzer knows how to reach out to people through the telling of his own horrific story. Majoring in Psychology and pursuing a Master's in Counseling, I'm often intrigued by stories like these. I know in the future, I will have to help a child in...

A Man Named Dave, little boy all grown up.

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: It goes to show that when you don't give up on life, when the going gets rough, Live can turn around and give you great rewards.
Review: I found this book to be an amazing conclusion to the first two books. I found this book to be incredible. I was really moved by all three books. I read the first one and found myself crying, not just for the events that took place in this book but...
